Garda Region Scammers Pose as Police to Sell Fake Magazine Subscriptions

They break into Carabinieri when attempting to contact hoteliers, shopkeepers, artisans, and restaurateurs in the Middle and Upper Garda regions by phone, offering magazine subscriptions from the armed forces.

These are not military personnel, but scammers who, from time to time, claim to belong to the finance police, police, fire brigade, or municipal police.

Recognizing scams

They often propose subscriptions to non-existent magazines or those unrelated to law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, be cautious and immediately notify the genuine Carabinieri — just dial 112 — as soon as you suspect you have been targeted by individuals who,

if they are after money, no longer show themselves.
